Episode Description

If you flunked physics in high school or didn't do much better in biology or chemistry - then you didn't have the right teacher. Derrick Pitts should have been your high school guide to the wild world of science - he is the man - the science man. Not only is Pitts the Chief Astronomer and Planetarium Director for the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA, not only has he been a NASA Solar System Ambassador since 2009, the man's passion for the sciences is endless! He's so engaging and inspiring that we might all have been astronauts! Plus: a musical tribute to the galaxy.
